Station Power Board

This board controls all of the switching of power to components in the ground station. It accepts it's commands through an I2C interface on the Stationd computer.

The switching is acomplished through 3 I2C GPIO device setup as 24 output bits. The bits control mosfet switches provideing both 5VDC and 12VDC circuits.

The board also has an A/D to monitor the RF Power Amplifiers output power detectors. The characteristics of this power measurement is detailed in the power amplifier testing spreadsheet unfer RF-systems.

Finally this board provides a temperature measurement of the system enclosures environment.

Questions

How big is the UPD board PCB?

It measures 140.7 × 86.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the UPD board use?

185 parts, built around the TC4427EOA, ADS1115IDGS, MAX7310ATE+T and RAVF164DJT10K0. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the UPD board KiCad files?

From the uniclogs/uniclogs-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is eb-ground-station/power-system/ground_station_power_board/UPD-board.kicad_pcb and its schematic eb-ground-station/power-system/ground_station_power_board/UPD-board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the UPD board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
